one of us, one of us, one of us
Was there ever any doubt?
You UnUnAmericans have much more sophisticated and complex ice-cream flavors than we do. Even the few B&J and H-D flavors that are imported here are much simpler than the ones you describe. I think the first time I had Cookies & Cream is was a B&J (later, two of the Israeli makers started to sell it, too), and there's definitely more variety and fun than a few years ago, but it's still not the same.
Also, the best vanilla, plain vanilla, ice-cream I ever tasted was Brewers (sp?), when I was in the USA. So there's that, as well.
sara, if you go by the Jewish calendar, today is the 13th of the month of Eeyar (um, not to be confused with Eeyore, which is pronounced quite differently, even though I can't spell it properly enough in English to show for that). Maybe you can convert for calendarical reasons (I mean, hey, Cindy's ready to convert for the food, right?)

Bryers. They put bits of actual vanilla beans in the ice cream.
Hah! I don't think my bosses would be so understanding.
Breyers. Absolutely excellent vanilla ice-cream.
Bryers.
Thanks! I *knew* I was getting it wrong, and unlike the hivemind, Google is still not good enough with such different spelling, expecially when I don't have the time to really look seriously.

Oh, yeah! They were actually visible - little black dots all over the white of the ice-cream.
(Also, hi, Tom! It's been forever since I posted with you! You were probably in your former age back then, I guess.)
I don't think my bosses would be so understanding.
Yeah, you have all that don't-mix-religion-and-work stuff in the USA, too, right?
working from home. feel like I was hit by a truck yesterday and today. unfortunately I cannot find the one person in teh office taht I need work from. grr.
Well, to a point. Christmas still gets most people two days off outside of hospital staff and vital services.
I miss Häagen-Dazs' amaretto flavor ice cream.
Oh, msbelle - last weekend I went to spend shabbat in Jerusalem with a friend. I got there with two more (mutual) friends. When we got into the car I noticed that all three of us were wearing pink shirts. All very different kinds of shirts, and even different shades of pink, but pink nonetheless. I thought about you, and (since it was late morning in my timezone) hoped you managed to smile in your dream or something.
[Edited because my spelling abilities are apparently on a strike, as well.]
IOBabyN,
College sumo wrestlers hold toddlers Rion Yuine, left, and Seira Aoki during a contest known as Crying Sumo on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan.
Babies face each other and are coaxed to cry. The first to bawl is declared the winner. The ritual is a wish for the good health of the children, as crying reputedly is beneficial for babies.

At least the babies get to wear cool costumes....
